        Rules for Changing Number of Nouns:

·         The plural of nouns is usually formed by adding ‘s’ to a singular noun.

Lamp/lamps, flower/flowers. Fork/forks, pen/pens, cat/cats, etc.

                           Rule 2:

                               Example:

Moss / mosses,  box / boxes, buzz / buzzes, potato / potatoes, dish / dishes, lunch / lunches, etc.

Rule 3:

·         Nouns ending in ‘y’ that come after a vowel, form their plural by adding ‘s’.

                               Example:

Day / days, toy / toys, valley / valleys.

                                 Rule 3:

·         Nouns ending in ‘y’ that come after a consonant are formed into a plural by replacing ‘y’ with ‘ies’.

                                   Example:

·         Lady / ladies, city / cities, baby / babies. 

·          

Pronunciation alert:

·         In standard English plural form words usually have a ‘z’ sound at the end:
